Our ADS/LDAP tree is organized using location:

ou=Moscow,
 cn=user1,
 cn=user2,
 ....
ou=Stavanger,
 cn=user1,
 cn=user2,
 ...

We will have at least one OTRS "agent" per location, with the rest of the users being 
"customers". Moving admin users to another common baseDN is not an option either due 
to group policies etc.

If I could only find the code which allows this agent registration, I could comment it 
out and the problem would be solved...
